The Following User Says Thank You to tgal For This Useful Post:

Just wanted to update...Have only taken the Cymbalta for 4 days and I will NOT be taking it anymore.
The side effects far outweigh any benefits. I have been weak, dizzy, nauseous, and exhausted. There is a disgusting taste in my mouth and I have barely eaten for 4 days....not what I had hoped for

DITTO everything that Steve said with an emphasis. Try a different dosage, a different brand, taking it at a different time of day, etc. It is sometimes quite dangerous for us to stop taking our meds entirely. Please contact your doctor and explain these side effects to him so that adjustments can be made to ensure that you do not go without medication that works on the symptoms that this one is designed to help.

I had the same yucky reaction to cymbalta couple years ago and tried again this winter. Believe it has helped some on mood and pain and has no yucky feeling. Took a single dose in morning, and in a week I added the second dose which I've continued to do.

I thought I'd chime in even though this is an old thread for anyone new who comes across this.

I started generic cymbalta 2 weeks ago (for pain). The pharmacy did not have all my script, so they half filled it with brand name cymbalta for no cost.

The generic made me SO sick. I was having every horrid side effect. Nausea, dizziness, needing naps during the day, felt high, etc. It wasnt a good experience at all. The brand name pills didnt make me feel as bad as the generic. After 2 weeks, it was like night and day, neither pill bothers me at all. So if you can stick out the bad symptoms (if you get them) it might be worth it.
